Gartner Peer Insights recently announced the Customers’ Choice for Application Performance Monitoring Tools, and with your help, this is an opportunity for us to show the world what we do for you everyday. While we (SolarWinds) strive to provide you with the best solutions for your everyday IT challenges, we would like to ask you for your feedback to help us be even better.

Though you will be asked to create an account, your name and company name will not be attached to your review. Demographic details (your role, industry, and size of your organization) will be the only identifying details displayed with your comments.

Personal email addresses are not accepted by Gartner Peer Insights. You must use your business email address to create an account, or sign in with LinkedIn.

All submissions are reviewed by Gartner staff to ensure validity and maintain the integrity of the forum. You are not permitted to review your own, your competitors’, or your affiliates’ products or services.

You can check the status of your review at any time by logging in to your reviewer profile.

The more details you can share about SolarWinds the better. Keep your review relevant, and think of what you wish you had read before you made your own purchase decision, and try to be as helpful as you can.

My, how you’ve grown! If it wasn’t for the National Institutes of Health and US National Library of Medicine defining fifteen years as being ‘adolescence,’ I’d say you’ve grown into a fine adult.

I guess you’re just mature for your age. Check out this timeline, to see how much everything has changed!

From my perspective as your Product Manager, and as one of your loving adoptive guardians, maybe being an adolescent a few more years isn’t such a bad thing. It means you’re still growing and changing for the better. It means your greatest years are still ahead of you. Most importantly, it means you have countless lives you’re still going to touch.

I mention these people, because so much of who you are today can be traced back to their influence, their love, and their passion at making you successful.

Danielle has been fearless. She’s been your advocate from her first day at SolarWinds and will stay your biggest fan until long after this wild ride is over. There is nary a feature she hasn’t influenced, a day she hasn’t championed, and a night she hasn’t lost sleep over making you the best possible environment for all of your users.

Wendy is the envy of the entire parenting team. Her voice and her writing style has been the backbone of THWACK’s personality. Not a single one of your contests, missions, or special events have gone without the impact of her pen and her keyboard.

Rachel is single-handedly responsible for the growth of some of your most important and signature features. Her tenure at the helm of your tech kept the ship upright and plugging forward to true north.

Casey has been hiding in the shadows for far too long. When I say he’s responsible for every line of code written on THWACK since 2012, I MEAN he is responsible for every line of code written on THWACK since 2012.

Finally, the work of these six people and myself would be absolutely nothing if it wasn’t for the community.

What we do, we do for you.

What you do…actually, we can’t even begin to understand who or what you do it for.

Folks, what we’re witnessing here is the rare, wild Loggidus Dataius in its natural habitat. What an incredible opportunity to observe its natural behavior! Oh! What do we have here? This is fantastic! Here comes the even rarer Robotdus Orionus! They have natural organizational skills not unlike a sheepdog when it sees an unruly herd of sheep. This is amazing! Robotdus Orionus has effortlessly managed to corral the Loggidus Dataius.

Be sure to tune in next week as we send our correspondent to observe the common Bandwidth Hog!

Your log data contains a wealth of information about the health and performance of your network and servers. But without a unified view of logs and infrastructure, you run the risk of missing key signals. The new SolarWinds® Log Manager for Orion® finally puts your log data right where it belongs, in the heart of your Orion console.

In this bonus mission, we’ll show you how you too can put your logs where they belong.
